On November 16, 7 servicemen of the Azerbaijani Army have been killed and 10 servicemen have been wounded while preventing another provocation by the Armenian military forces at the border. The Azerbaijani Armed Forces have alternatively responded to the enemy and forced them to retreat. During the operation, the Armenian army's manpower and military equipment have been destroyed, as well as many soldiers have been detained.

It should be noted that the provocations carried out by the Armenian side on the border, as well as in the territory of Karabakh have recently intensified. The tension created by the Armenian militants along the Armenian-Azerbaijani border since November 15 in the direction of Kalbajar and Lachin regions is a serious concern for the security of the region in general. Armenia, which signed the capitulation document, is shifting back to the option of war again.

Speaking to EDNews.net, president of the International Eurasia Press Fund Umud Mirzayev said that the irresponsible actions of the Armenian political and military leadership over the past week, acts of terrorism and sabotage, as well as provocations that led to large-scale clashes yesterday, have once again put the peace process in jeopardy.

"Armenia opposes the start of the delimitation and demarcation process, which is one of the items of the November 10 statement, and violates the peace process by artificially creating tensions," he said.

"Instead of fulfilling its obligations, the Armenian side continues to commit provocations, as it did during the 44-day war, and as soon as it receives an adequate response, it turns to Russia. Since the signing of the ceasefire agreement, in the post-war period, the Armenian side has refused to fulfill its obligations under the tripartite statement. According to paragraph 4 of the statement, the illegal Armenian armed forces in Karabakh had to leave the region, and the peacekeepers had to control the process. Also, according to paragraph 9, the Zangazur corridor should be opened. All the articles in this statement serve regional development. However, the Armenians again choose the path of revanchism, relying on the empty promises of external forces with imaginary dreams. They will be the ones who suffer the most from this. It's as if they have already started to see the damage."

Umud Mirzayev noted that the West, which has been responding to the lawlessness in the region for 30 years with double standards and has not taken the necessary steps, is approaching the region only through the its own interests and viewpoints.

“But Azerbaijan will overcome this ordeal. The victory in the Great Patriotic War, along with the bravery of the Azerbaijani army, is a manifestation of the successful diplomacy of our state. The people of Azerbaijan stand by the state and the army! Every step of the army is the will of the people!

Today, under the leadership of President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Supreme Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev, infrastructure projects are being implemented in the liberated territories, and work is being done to return our citizens who have been displaced for 30 years. I believe that we will overcome all obstacles on this path with the determination of the Azerbaijani leadership and the determination of the people."
